Do you bet 1/2 pot or push all-in? It may seem like a trivial question, but please humor me.

half pot .. your still not giving pot odds and will probably get a caller and you obviously have to assume you have the best hand.

Push.

If the river comes something scary, you might not get anything from the set of 7s, or 4s,(and the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] might even make you fold a winner) and you also make anyone willing to gamble with you pay the maximum.

That is what I did, and everyone folded. So later I wondered if I should have bet less.

I didn't like the hearts and spades on the board, and the table was pretty loose. So I figured I would still get one caller with the push.

Thanks for the responses.
